Igor Solodovnikov What happened to my vertical scroll bar in the text editor
I must have accidently done something to change the vertical scroll bar in the text editor where I enter my code. It no longer looks nor acts right. I have the shaded vertical space where it used to be, but no arrows. There is a narrow blue scroll bar, but dragging it with the the mouse does not scroll the text. Instead if I move it upwards, it pulls up the bottom horizontal scroll bar creating multiple overlapping horizontal scroll bars. In fact if I drag anywhere in the vertical space upwards the same thing happens. If I drag to the left, I get multiple of these vertical spaces overlapping The bottom half inch of the shaded vertical space is a darker shade. At the top there is a nar ...Show All
PedroCGD "Cannot Empty the Clipboard" error message
I use VisualStudio and the Excel in parallel most of the time, to update the test results in the excel sheet. I am done with the trial version of VisualStudio team suite and installed the full licensed version of the team suite couple of weeks ago. Now I get an error "Cannot empty the clipboard" when I try to copy the data within the cells in the excel spreadsheet, but the data is still copied. When I try to copy the data from visual studio, i get the error "Requested Clipboard Operation did not succeed" and nothing is copied. This is making my work very difficult. The copy and paste functions no longer work and these are fixed when I reboot the system, this is happening more frequently and so i don't consider ...Show All
jcninwisc Video Screen Capture
Is it possible to capture the screen as a video, like the way you take screenshots and then save it as *.wmv, or *.avi or something You see, I play a lot of games, and i want to take videos of them, and take videos of other stuff on screen, ive tried Windows Media Encoder 9 and its videos come out like screenshots piled together into a slideshow, only worse. I've also tried a few others, which didnt work great either, so I thought, it'd be great to make my own one, at least then if i didnt like it i could easily try to fix it. Is there a way in Visual Basic to do this, or is there a .NET component, or even a .DLL out there to do this in VB Sorry, by the looks of things, my question is misleading. I dont want to take a screens ...Show All
swan_sg Visual Basic windows forms
Hey, I've only started using Visual Basic tonight, and I've never touched any previous form of VB and/or Visual Studio. So this is probably the newbie-ist question you've seen for a few years if not ever. Anyway, I've got a task set out whereby I must create a testing program as such, with multiple choices. I've created a form for every question, along with a welcome form and a grade form. My question is simply, how do you link the forms, so that a user can click the button labelled "Continue1" and it opens up form2, within the same space and so on and so forth. Any help would be more than gratefully received. Thanks! kite should be in quotes - anything to do with strings should be ...Show All

JPC16 Rule 24516 Error - What is it?
Hello, We’ve been running TFS in production for about four months. We reevaluated our work item structure and made some changes in the available fields and work item layout. I then updated each project to use the new work items. Within one project, however, if I try to load my returned work items into Excel, I get a “Rule 24516 refers to a non-existing field” error. I am not sure if this problem is related to the work item changes - or if this problem was there before. As a test, the fields I removed from the work item definition were incorporated back into the work item, but this had no affect. I also reduced the columns displayed in the query to just System.Id, but the error still occurs when I load it into E ...Show All

bxchan changing of project-properties
Hello! Does anyone know if it is possible to change the project properties through a command line command (or msbuild) I need this especially for the changing of the release/debug folder names before compiling the solutions, since all our c++ projects have the name WinRel instead of Release (historically). The problem is that the TFS doesn't copy the compiled files to the Binaries if the folders don't have their default names. Thank you! You should be able to use the AdditionalVCOverrides property to pass in VC++ project setting overrides (these are used to generate *.vsprops files during a Team Build build).

SivaS TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server.
We just installed Team Foundation Server Suite. I can access it from the same machine but when I try from other machines, I get a failure notice, TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server. Possible reasons for failure are - The Team Foundation Server name, port or protocol - The Team Foundation server is offline - Password is expired or incorrect. For more information, contact the Team Foundation Server Administrator. Well, the server name, port and protocol are correct, the server is online and the password is not expired and I am the Administrator. Any hints I have the exact same issue. I set up a new developer machine today and I am not able to connect to the TFS. All other ...Show All

Jan Drenthen TFS: Lock-Modify-Unlock or Copy-Modify-Merge
I'm researching SCM's for my small team (6 devs) and have a couple of questions about TFS that I haven't been able to quickly find answers to. Does TFS share SourceSafe's inherent Lock-Modify-Unlock work style, or does it contain strong support the Copy-Modify-Merge work style What about support for working in a disconnected-from-the-network fashion Am I correct in understanding that the client (dev's machine) requires Windows 2003 (we can't develop on XP Pro or 2000) Thanks for any help, Skip V. Thanks for the speedy reply, that helps a lot. Like SourceSafe, TFS supports both work styles. The default is copy-modify-merge. You can toggle the optio ...Show All
Victor Egbe Debug problem: program wont stop a break points.
I have taken a program that i got from a tutorial that was written for visual c++ 6.0 I think. I clicked on the project and it imported it into 2005. I have tried to put break points in places in the program I know it hits but they don't stop the program. I also hover over these points and says program can reach them. Also when I recompile (clean then rebuild all) I see in the out put window No symbols loaded. which I think maybe the problem. I read in another post that someone had which they didn't get any symbols loaded and I checked the areas mentioned ther which were correct. Also, in borland c++ I was able to put in a statement (which I don't recall what the name of it was. that would print to the output window for the compiler. ...Show All
Martin00 xp to win98
I installed my visual basic 6 in xp OS then compiled it and make a package & distribution setup. Then i try to run the setup in the win98 OS...i received errors like oleaut32.dll error...Anybody cn help me bout this problem.... You must always distribute the lowest versions of any files you intend to support. Therefore if you must compile on XP you must make absolutely sure you are distributing 98 versions of the files. Otherwise not only may you find that your app doesn't work on 98, but you could also screw up the OS. My advice is to always compile you app on the lowest version of the OS you intend to support. ...Show All
GTH control not bound to areapath or iteration
I have a custom field ref, with allowed values from a global ref. I display the field with a WorkItemClassificationControl, but the control is grayed out on the form and reads "control not bound to areapath or iteration." Any suggestions ++Alan WorkItemClassificationControl can be bound to either AreaPath or IterationPath, and not other non-tree fields. You can use FieldControlt o display a list of items.
